At the moment my focus Amiga-wise is prepping the NG Amiga hardware I am taking to AmiWest 2014 (Sacramento, California) as an exhibitor!

It has been a difficult time of late, with grief of a death in the family filling my spare time, when not working, which has also been hectic. Sorry for the delay in posting to this X1000 blog.

I have managed to squeeze some Amiga related things in (Classic Amiga) and a little IRC chat during this month, and have been updating the Classic Amiga blog regularly, but haven't really done a lot with the X1000 of late.

My attention has been drawn to the diversion of running Amiga OS4.1 Classic on WinUAE, also detailed in my Classic Amiga blog.

I am waiting for my new X1000 Amiga keyboard from Loriano, which is in progress as I type this, waiting for the final key to arrive and be installed before it is shipped to me! Pictures to come when I have received it and have it up and running on the X1000!

As I said, I am prepping the NG Amiga hardware I am taking to AmiWest 2014 as an exhibitor - my first visit this year. I am very excited about it!

System Folder layout - no idea yet why there is French text in the bottom bar when the locale is English - came from the Chrysalis Pack iso add-on I guess:

AmiNetRadio playing some Mp3's, showing the playlist view:

Next is the Odyssey Web browser (OWB) showing MorphZone, MorphOS Files websites, to keep up to date on the latest news for MorphOS:

Next, I am playing my recent YouTube videos on Odyssey under MorphOS 3.7 works well - and no, before anyone asks, I didn't queue up for an iPhone 6 - I did get one via pre order on launch day though - my launch day blog post and video link here if interested):

Grunch is very useful tool that checks for updates on the latest version of software you have installed on your MorphOS machine:

This is just a small taste of one of the systems I plan to bring - my builds on two other computers are in progress right now.

I hope you can make it to AmiWest 2014 this year - I would love to meet and chat to as many Amiga people as possible!
